KuL News January ’25

We’ll be moving soon! The last two weeks have been spent building, painting, crafting and decorating the premises at Güterstrasse 48. Slowly but surely the whole thing is taking shape and color and the idea of the environment in which we will soon be able to play our games is becoming more and more vivid. I’m really looking forward to it! Thank you to everyone who has invested dozens of hours over the last few days – you are mega KUL!

And of course we continue with:

Events!

  • Goodbye Laupenstrasse, 23.1.
    It will soon be over, the time when our association had its home in Laupenstrasse. And even though we have every reason to look forward to the new location and all the great stories we will experience in Güterstrasse, we want to raise our glasses to Laupenstrasse once again!
  • Pathfinder Society, in German, 12.2. & 19.2.
    The Pathfinders find themselves invited to a charity dinner to benefit the Knights of Lastwall fighting in far-off lands against the lich king, Tar-Baphon. In the middle of dinner, evidence of a strange ritual arises, and the Pathfinders must investigate before dinner becomes a murder mystery!
    Registration via Meetup.
  • System of the Month Februar: Vaesen, in English, 8.2. & 22.2.
    In dark forests, beyond the mountains, by black lakes in hidden groves. At your doorstep. In the shadows, something stirs. Strange beings. Twisted creatures, lurking at the edge of vision. Watching. Waiting. Unseen by most, but not by you. You see them for what they really are. Vaesen.

A charity dinner with a catch

On this second Wednesday of the month, the Pathfinder Society meets again in the vaults of the association: 08. January 2025 at 17:30 until approx. 23:00 we agents will go on another adventure. It will be the adventure 6-01: Intro into the Year of Immortal Influence and will be played in Swiss German (or in standard German if this works better for individual players).


The Pathfinders find themselves invited to a charity dinner to benefit the Knights of Lastwall fighting in far-off lands against the lich king, Tar-Baphon. In the middle of dinner, evidence of a strange ritual arises, and the Pathfinders must investigate before dinner becomes a murder mystery!


The adventure is suitable for characters of levels 1-4. It is also open to new players who do not yet have any role-playing experience and/or are not yet familiar with the Pathfinder system in its 2nd edition.

Sign Up

You can sign up via Meetup.
Keep in mind that this adventure will be played in German.

Happy holidays and a happy new year!

Dear members, dear role-players!

December is almost over and it’s time for another year in review. It was a year of some ups and supposed downs, a year full of exciting adventures, fantastic encounters and unforgettable moments at the table – be it epic battles, shady intrigues or creative manoeuvres by our heroes that drove the GMs to the brink of despair.

The past year was a year of growth. Our room was booked more than twice as often as in the previous year (160 bookings), we held 57 KuL events and public games and offered several other activities (such as the «Master’s Talk» or «From Player to GM»). We have now grown to 40 members who support our association and share in our association’s philosophy and purpose. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your enthusiasm, your help and, of course, your membership. A huge thank you!

So, the new year is almost upon us. We hope you can enjoy the festive season to the fullest, whether it’s with the people you care about or with strangers* in a cosy, exciting and/or nerve-wracking role-playing session to round off the month. May the year ahead be just as exciting for you – with even more fantastic adventures, creative ideas and a consistently good roll for initiative.

We look forward to giving you a detailed review and outlook of what the board is up to at the general meeting in January 2025: the new location, for example – but also the successor to our Arcanor campaign. If you want to find out more now and don’t want to wait until 16 January 2025, take a look at the association’s annual report linked below.

Happy holidays and a wonderful new year.

* = Or as attributed to William Butler Yeats: «There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven’t yet met.»

KuL-News November ’24

As you may have heard, we have to leave our premises on Laupenstrasse at the end of January. But GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! We’ve already found new ones! And yesterday’s Höck decided that we will sign the rental contract. Here are some facts:

  • 2 playable rooms, probably expandable to 3 rooms
  • On Güterstrasse 48, 3008 Bern – reachable in 10min from Welle by bus
  • Inexpensive
  • Plenty of storage space with a reduit and back room
  • You can check out the layout here (the black wall doesn’t exist yet)

I’m really excited to see how the new rooms will turn out. But one thing is for sure: they will be KUL!

More in the minutes (german):

Halloween-Party!
New wall decoration for the last few months!

Despite of everything, we continue with:

Events!

  • Pathfinder Society, in German, 13.11.
    The Pathfinder Society meets again in November and December in KuL’s vaults. Go on a journey of discovery with Alain!
    Registration via Meetup as soon as possible.
  • System of the Month November: Draw Steel!, in englisch, 21.11.
    Time to DRAW STEEL! Under the keywords Tactial, Heroic, Cinematic and Fantasy, MCDM promise to reduce the drudgery of traditional RPGs and offer fast, exciting battles with tactical depth. And we will check if they keep their promise!
  • Unfortunately already full, sorry 🙂
  • System of the Month December: Adventures in Ankh-Morpork, in german 10.12. (already filled) & 19.12. (slots available)
    The rules are very simple and focus heavily on role-playing. There is little fighting (and only with normal skill tests – there is no weapon damage or similar) and the focus is entirely on immersing yourself in the bizarre world of Terry Pratchett – but you don’t have to know it to have fun!
    Registration via form in the post.

A Time of Opportunity

I’m very sad to announce that our landlord PSP cancelled our (CDC & KuL) contract because they need the rooms themselves. This means we will have to move to new premises in the beginning of February and the KuL room can no longer be used for games from the end of January 🙁

We are now working flat out to find new suitable premises! We would be extremely grateful for any tips and information!

May the next room(s) be much KuLer!
